Overview
It’s what’s in the weight
that matters.
Total
body
composition
is a measurement of the
components that together
make up body weight:
Lean mass – The combined
weight of muscle, bone,
tissue and organs
Body fat – Stored fat
Managing your health
just got a lot easier.
Weight and health. We know the two are closely
linked, but we haven’t yet mastered how to take
control of either.
And it’s costing us dearly – in dollars, lives and hopes for a healthy
future. Problem is, body weight isn’t the best indicator of overall
health. Total body composition is.
That’s where the Stayhealthy® Total Body Composition Management
SystemTM comes in. The culmination of 15+ years of research and
clinical validation, the system integrates Stayhealthy’s FDA-cleared,
personalized health measurement and assessment tools with
comprehensive web-enabled tracking and reporting capabilities.

Hydration – The amount
of water in the body
Weighing on a scale shows a
person’s total body weight,
but doesn’t distinguish where
the pounds come from.
Judging a person’s overall
health based on how much
they weigh is inaccurate at
best and dangerous at worst.
Why?
Because blanket assumptions
about the distribution of
lean mass, body fat and
hydration don’t take nearly
enough human variables into
consideration.
Many people work hard to
lose weight based on old,
standardized weight-based
guidelines at the expense
of their muscle function,
skin tone and overall body
processes.

Stayhealthy at work
Employee productivity, absenteeism, workplace satisfaction
– each is directly linked to the overall health and fitness of
the people who work at a company, as are the ever-escalating
costs of employer-provided healthcare and insurance.
Stayhealthy‘s Total Body Composition Management System is a
powerful tool to address these concerns.
First, it provides exceptional health benefits to employees who use
the system, resulting in a healthier overall workforce. Moreover, for
the sponsoring organization, it fulfills the growing need for a way to
measure the effectiveness of health and wellness initiatives currently
in place. Stayhealthy’s secure, web-enabled business interface is easy
for program administrators to integrate into their existing health
and fitness programs. As employees assess and track their individual
body composition, the “de-identified,” aggregated results can be
monitored and analyzed at the population level so program sponsors
can monitor a workforce’s health risk profile over time.
The web interface is easy to access and use – anytime, around the
clock – and delivers valuable information for extensive reporting
and analysis. Program administrators can monitor and compare the
progress of various workforce segments, using the system to identify
Why
the
wait
to
understand weight?
Clinicians have known for
years that a person’s body fat
percentage is a much more
accurate gauge of physical
health than their total body
weight.
But measuring body fat has
been expensive or highly
invasive (or both), requiring
tests such as DXA scans,
hydrostatic
(underwater)
weighing, or taking skinfold estimates with calipers
(ouch!).
Even then, the measurements
aren’t generally accurate or
consistent enough to serve
as a sound basis for ongoing
health management. That’s
why Stayhealthy’s Total Body
Composition
Management
System is such a vital
breakthrough:
high-risk areas and implement or fine-tune intervention programs as
needed.
As more and more companies invest in wellness programs to help
improve employees’ health, Stayhealthy’s Total Body Composition
It’s easy, affordable and a
clinically proven way to help
people target, achieve and
maintain a healthy body fat
percentage.
Management System is an invaluable tool for organizations to develop
the right health strategies and confirm that they’re working.
